Meet Dylan

Dylan was born and raised in Mammoth Lakes, CA and lived in the Eastern Sierra until moving to San Francisco to attend San Francisco State University, where in 2012 he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Studies. Throughout his 20’s, he spent much of his time exploring Eastern spirituality and classical yoga theory, using these teachings to connect more deeply to his body/mind/soul, to others, and to the present moment. In 2021, Dylan graduated from San Jose State University with a Master of Social Work degree (MSW) in the pursuit of working as a professional psychotherapist. He has been working in the mental health field since 2018, before which he worked in the physical health field, and he has been practicing extensive self-study for 15+ years.

Reflecting on his life, Dylan has found immense personal purpose in contemplating and exploring how we can create balance and meaning in our thoughts, behaviors, and connections. He has come to believe that nurturing our minds, bodies, souls, and connections is the foundation of all aspects of wellness and purpose, and he uses this belief as his compass in his daily work. Dylan’s intention is to use psychotherapeutic methods, spiritual practices, and authentic connection to support people in creating meaningful and fulfilled lives.

In his personal life, he enjoy spending time with his partner and dog, being in nature, buzzing through cities, cooking and eating delicious plant-based food, traveling, experiencing music, moving his body, and being silent.
